[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 178120, member: 2475"] No nitpicking but for Googlers the word is [b]Mesothelioma[/b].Of all the things you do not want to die from this one is way close to the top.Imagine a cancerous peel forming on the inside of your chest and squeezing and squeezing till that day when no air can enter at all. No cure and horrible,horrible to see. The further nice thing is that the disease typically occurs many years after exposure to blue asbestos.Mean time from diagnosis to death 9 months without treatment or 8 months with treatment. Shed a silent tear for all the mineworkers,builders, hapless Transnet pensioners who spent their lives close to train brake pads and steam boilers or just those people who grew up in the Northwest Cape or who lived close to a railway line where this crap was transported in open wagons.As for it being rare? Well maybe in countries that banned this shit,where it is not mined,where kids did not play on open heaps of this,where buildings with asbstos are covered in vacuum plastic and demolished. But not here China,not here. No comment on the fireglass causing this bit. [/QUOTE]
